AC Milan’s Coaching Dilemma: Fonseca’s Position Under Scrutiny

The upcoming match in Verona holds significant historical weight for AC Milan supporters, given the club’s past championship losses at the Bentegodi stadium. Now, this fixture could prove equally pivotal for current head coach Paulo Fonseca, whose position appears increasingly precarious following a disappointing start to the season.

With the team already trailing the league leaders by 14 points, bookmakers are speculating on Fonseca’s potential dismissal before the year’s end, offering odds of 1.65. As for his replacement, betting analysts favor a return of Massimiliano Allegri, with odds of 4 to 1. Maurizio Sarri, currently unattached after leaving Lazio, is considered an equally likely candidate.

Other potential successors include Edin Terzic at 12 to 1 and Igor Tudor at 15 to 1. The possibility of appointing former Milan players such as Andrea Pirlo, Mark Van Bommel, Clarence Seedorf, or Andriy Shevchenko is seen as a long shot, with odds of 100 to 1.

As AC Milan prepares for their crucial match in Verona, the pressure on Fonseca continues to mount, with his future at the club hanging in the balance.
